Are you crushing deadlifts at 6am, while your clients are stuck doing burpees, battle ropes, and burnout circuits day in, day out?

No blaming here. 

It’s happening in gyms everywhere: owners dial in their own progressive strength training… then turn around and deliver a one-size-fits-all workout they’d never do themselves.

But that gap is costing gyms trust, results, and long-term retention.

Because if strength training is what works best for you, why aren’t your clients getting the same?

In this episode, Tim and Randy break down:

• what happens when metabolic training hits its ceiling
• how to evolve when clients outgrow the model
• how to fix disconnects between training style and client results
• why smart gyms are moving away from cookie-cutter group training

The fitness consumer is more informed than ever. They can spot a mismatch. And they’ll find the gym that actually walks the talk.

Tune in to learn how to fix the programming gap, before your clients find someone down the street who already has.
